Devon Archer Testimony Transcript Released
House Oversight Committee Interviews Hunter Biden Business Associate

‘It’s Not An Abuse’: Bill Barr
Defends DOJ From Weaponization Charges After Trump Indictment

The transcript of Hunter Biden’s business associate Devon Archer’s congressional testimony was released Thursday.

Archer testified about Hunter’s business dealings and President Joe Biden’s alleged involvement. Archer is a close friend of Hunter and sat on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma alongside Hunter.

The transcript alleges that Hunter had a “brand” as part of the Biden family, specifically due to President Joe Biden. Archer testified that while Biden had no involvement with Burisma to his knowledge, “Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn’t have the brand attached to it.”

Archer also said it is fair to say “that Hunter Biden was selling the illusion of access to his father.”

Archer went on to testify that after Biden’s other son, Beau, died, he increasingly contacted Hunter. The former business partner also said that in one instance, Hunter put Biden on speakerphone while in Paris on a call and that he suspects Biden “knew” he was on the phone but said Hunter would frequently just talk about the weather.

“And [Hunter] said, ‘Say hello to,’ and he would just say the names of the people there?” Archer was asked.

“I don’t recall directly, but, yes, something like that,” Archer testified.

“And did you ever have the impression that Joe Biden actually knew who these people were? Or was he just telling – saying hello, kind of, at Hunter Biden’s invitation?”

“You know, sometimes yes, sometimes no, but generally no,” Archer said.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) clarified late Sunday it would not have Archer sent to prison before his testimony after a Saturday letter sent to a judge indicated the DOJ was seeking a date for Archer to surrender to prison. The department later clarified the date would come after Archer provides testimony to Congress. (RELATED: ‘It’s Odd’: DOJ Reportedly Working Overtime To Send Key Hunter Biden Witness To Prison)

Archer was sentenced in 2022 to a year and one day in prison for defrauding a Native American tribal group and investment clients as part of a bond issuance scheme. Archer’s appeal was rejected in June after a federal appeals court reversed his request for a new trial

Breaking News…We’re Holding Hunter Biden Accountable!

Dear Mr. Berkowitz,

Last Friday, we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the Internal Revenue Service investigation of Hunter Biden.

Evidence shows that the Justice Department obstructed this IRS criminal investigation, which also implicated President Joe Biden!

The Biden administration is doing all it can to spare President Biden’s son from punishment for his crimes and any further damaging revelations about his sleazy overseas influence-peddling schemes which may have enriched his father, and endangered our national security. 

And on top of that scandal, the Justice Department has been violating federal FOIA law by stonewalling Judicial Watch’s lawful open records requests to access IRS records related to that investigation…records that the American people have a right to see.

That’s why we sued them…and it’s why I am asking for you to support us today.

Stunning recent testimony by two IRS whistleblowers before the House Oversight Committee detailed how the Garland Justice Department obstructed their criminal investigation of Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family, including the president.

This testimony occurred shortly before a judge in Delaware refused to accept a sweetheart plea deal brokered by Hunter Biden’s lawyers and the Justice Department…and no wonder!

As one of the IRS whistleblowers, Joseph Ziegler, testified before the Oversight Committee:

“If the Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss followed DOJ policy as he stated in his most recent letter, Hunter Biden should have been charged with a tax felony, and not only the tax misdemeanor charge. We need to treat each taxpayer equally under the law.

This is a textbook case of the liberal Washington Establishment protecting one of its own…and it is also more evidence of wrongdoing by the Biden family, trading on Joe Biden’s office and influence.

Judicial Watch has been “on the case” of Biden family corruption orchestrated by Hunter Biden since 2020, and now we need your help to keep the pressure on!

We are pursuing multiple federal lawsuits related to Hunter Biden and Biden family influence peddling, and our litigation has already forced the release of State Department records about allegations of Biden corruption in Ukraine. 

Others complain about Biden family corruption and stonewalling…

…but while others talk, we use the legal system and the courts to deliver real results!

With your continued help, we will keep breaking through the veil of secrecy the Biden administration is using to protect Joe and Hunter Biden, we will provide the American people with records and documents they have a right to see, and we will hold the Bidens accountable under the law!

Thank you, as always, for all you do to help Judicial Watch fight for the principle that “no one is above the law.”

Sincerely,

Thomas Fitton
President

Mesha Mainor, Shining Star for Freedom

"Republicans have a new shining star for the 2024 presidential election in the way
of Georgia State Rep. Mesha Mainor.

Mainor, an African American who has been serving the Georgia state legislature
since January 2021, announced two weeks ago that she is leaving the Democratic
Party and becoming a Republican.

This is a decision of notable courage in that District 56 that she represents, located
in the area around Atlanta, is deep blue.
